Darkness Lies

I watch the rain through the window.
I think about the things that are happening in the world outside.
I wonder if I can live another night
with knowing only what is on the inside.

These walls are my haven
and these walls are my nightmare.
I don't like the people that I see outside,
so I stay
locked away
every day.

Inside, it is just me and my heart.
And believe me when I say
that my heart is my my heads worst enemy.
And believe me when I say
that my head is my hurts best friend.

The hollow night fades into something so desolate.
It is no more and no less than it was the night before.
The darkness brings with it a sense of light;
a light in my mind that my heart tries to savor
but my head closes out.

Just one hand is all I need
to pull me out of this reality.
But of all the grasps I am offered,
the only one I really need is so far out of my reach.

So I leave with the darkness,
moving towards that place where I always hide.
And I'm here for the wishing, here for the waiting
but I am here for nothing else
because the darkness lies.
